[Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #224 Quicksearch can't find -west

[Bernard D. <bde...@us...>]

Aaaargh! This is a nasty bug! Nothing to do with quick find in particular, this is a flaw in the core when it parses the arguments of a command looking for a -w option. A very simple way to reproduce this in the Tcl shell:
```
«» search -- -w 0
Error: search unable to find specified window 0
```
Thank you for catching this, it's amazing it was not discovered earlier.  I'll fix it.

Try to search for the string "-west" in quicksearch (Ctrl-S).
As soon as you type the "w", the search exits with the error 
message "can't find window".

(There is surely some missing end-of-flags double-dash missing
somewhere...)
